Fab's 10 Fall Essentials: The Funky Bootie

Fab's 10 Fall Essentials: The Funky Bootie

I've been collecting booties a couple seasons now, so I already have the quintessential black, and I even have the off-kilter gray. Bootie power is still going strong — it's time to mix things up. Many celebrities and fashion folks are looking to rock 'n' roll black leather and gold studs for their tough fix, but I'm digging a little deeper. Glam rock anyone? These Stuart Weitzman Platform Booties ($355) aren't your next door fashionista's bootie. The purple hue is right out of Velvet Goldmine, the brown wooden platform is boogie night ready, and the open toe plays peekaboo.

Peep toes don't belong on boots, IMO..sorry love!
The color of these is tres royale riche, but the hidden platform bugs me. It screws with the proportion of the shoe and makes it look like the ball of the foot is 4" thick.
